Creating an app

Smithereen apps are identified by a URL that points to an Application ActivityPub object. You can either self-host one, or use your account on any Smithereen server to create one. Learn more »

You only need an app identity if you would like to make authenticated API requests.

Right now, only standalone apps are supported. Support for iframe apps, those that run in an iframe on a Smithereen server, will come later.
